Happy Birthday Sweets!

I hope you had a great Birthday. Thanks for being the best Mom and Sweets around.

Happy Birthday Sharon!!

Sometimes it's fun cleaning out closets!

I was sorting out some pictures today and ran across this one and thought it would make some of your smile. It was in May of 1962.

Love you, Cindy!

Cindy,
Just a note to say how thankful the family is that you're doing as well as you are! We know you've been couped up in the house for days, and are probably stir-crazy by now... but, we're all thinking about you and praying that you'll be back up and about very quickly. Sorry you've had the head-aches and nausea that goes along with this treatment and hope those things pass very soon! You mean a whole lot to this family and it's great to see you doing well. We all love you lots!
Sharon

Kendyl and Austin's visit

Kendyl and Austin came to visit this weekend. They had a couple fo things to do in town, so they stayed with us and it was great to have them! Austin updated my iphone for me (he's the computer guru) and it's great! I now have some crazy apps and think I'm all cool! Mike gave me that phone a year ago on my birthday and it's just now getting it's facelift! Wow! I'm so behind the times! Anyway, Austin is now obligated to visit every few months to keep me up to speed electronically! I'm making an electronic list now just for his return! Love you guys!

George Washburn (1935-2009)

Yesterday was a good day to see family and remember Uncle George. He was a really solid christian man and a really good Uncle. In the last few years, every time I saw him or talked to him, he reminded me more and more of Dad. He and LaRue always seemd upbeat and were a great example to their kids and grandkids. I loved hearing the kids and grandkids memories yesterday, it was just a good day.

I also want to say how proud I am of our family. Mike did a great job and it was great to see Tom and Julie, and we all missed Cindy. Jonelle, Randi and Taylor have grown up to be awesome young ladies. We stopped by Abilene on the way home yesterday and watched Jason turn ten shades of red coaching his team, and I am really proud of the man he has become. I had lunch last weekend with Trey and Kyle and I am proud of how they have grown up the last few years. And, I always hear good things about Preston and Kendyl in backwoods Arkansas. Not to be too sentimental, but I do love our family.
